Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The New Gulliver and Other Stories
I see, said the creature, that you are from the old world. Who are you? He spoke in a gentle voice and with an accent not unlike that which we call American.
My name is Lemuel Gulliver, a shipwrecked mariner, at your service. Will you tell me what island this is on which I find myself, and to whom I am speaking.
The island is Thule - Ultima Thule - the one spot of earth that has emerged from barbarism. Chance has done great things for you in bringing you here.
He slipped one hand out of its boot, removed his big spectacles, and blinked his weak eyes. I watched him narrowly. His face was hairless. It might have been the face of an old woman or of an old man. A look of cunning now crept over it.
